Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

Anthony Watts mostly deals with Lithosphere, Seismology, Gravity anomaly, Geomorphology and Tectonics. His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tectonic subsidence, Plate tectonics, Mantle and Continental margin. His studies deal with areas such as Seamount and Crust as well as Seismology.

The Gravity anomaly study combines topics in areas such as Foreland basin, Oceanic basin, Late Miocene and Obduction. His studies examine the connections between Geomorphology and genetics, as well as such issues in Volcano, with regards to Landslide. His Tectonics study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock and Petrology.

His most cited work include:

  • Isostasy and Flexure of the Lithosphere (814 citations)
  • Subsidence of the Atlantic-type continental margin off New York (683 citations)
  • Gravity anomalies and flexure of the lithosphere at mountain ranges (482 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Seismology, Lithosphere, Paleontology, Gravity anomaly and Tectonics are his primary areas of study. He interconnects Seamount and Crust in the investigation of issues within Seismology. His research integrates issues of Petrology, Geophysics, Mantle and Continental margin in his study of Lithosphere.

His Continental margin research incorporates elements of Continental shelf and Passive margin. His study in Gravity anomaly is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Foreland basin and Geodesy. His work in Tectonics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Seismology (31.71%)
  • Lithosphere (24.30%)
  • Paleontology (15.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Seismology (31.71%)
  • Paleontology (15.60%)
  • Gravity anomaly (14.83%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Anthony Watts mainly investigates Seismology, Paleontology, Gravity anomaly, Tectonics and Biophysics. His Seismology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arc and Submarine. His Gravity anomaly study deals with Geophysics intersecting with Lithospheric flexure.

His Biophysics study incorporates themes from Membrane, Membrane protein, Bacterial rhodopsins and Chromophore. The various areas that Anthony Watts examines in his Continental margin study include Foreland basin and Oceanic crust. His Lithosphere study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Seamount.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Upper-plate controls on co-seismic slip in the 2011 magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake (40 citations)
  • Gravity anomalies, flexure and mantle rheology seaward of circum-Pacific trenches (32 citations)
  • Post-eruptive flooding of Santorini caldera and implications for tsunami generation (28 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

Anthony Watts mainly focuses on Seismology, Tectonics, Paleontology, Gravity anomaly and Structural basin. He has researched Seismology in several fields, including Cenozoic, Gravity and Submarine. His Tectonics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neogene and Mantle.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Bedrock, Glacial period, Lithosphere and Geophysics in addition to Gravity anomaly. His Lithosphere study typically links adjacent topics like Mountain formation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Geochemistry, Perspective and Continental margin.
